[01:12:26] <paulproteus> I am looking into the RECORD file, and I notice that the pip version I have doesn't seem to install it when I do pip install --user mwparser
[01:12:42] <paulproteus> I'm working on a tool to convert system-installed packages to wheels, which may sound weird, but is what I'm working on today.
[01:13:12] <paulproteus> Perhaps I should take this to #pypa-dev but until someone tells me to do that, I will keep blathering here.
[01:14:45] <paulproteus> Fascinatingly other packages I install do seem to have it... so maybe I can just ignore the mwparser package and use a more reasonable/recent package.
[01:15:32] <paulproteus> Yeah, I think I will act as though nothing is wrong. Carry on, all. (-:
[02:37:12] <paulproteus> https://github.com/paulproteus/dirtbike is the current state (MUCH work required still), fwiw.
[05:13:30] <dstufft> paulproteus: RECORD is from wheels
[05:13:37] <dstufft> non wheels will have installed-files.txt
[06:55:15] <sontek> dstufft: Hey, have you had time to look at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3025
[19:35:19] <paulproteus> dstufft: Gotcha re: RECORD + installed-files.txt
[19:36:15] <dstufft> paulproteus: to be totally clear, without wheel there is no actual standard for listing what files installed, setuptools provides a flag that lets you write a file out, but the name is up to the user. Pip then layers on top of this to force the name installed-files.txt so we can support uninstallation
[19:36:34] <paulproteus> I have no point I just want to say
